pointless.

your engine breathes just fine as it is, and a fan would only get in the way. a fan would probably disrupt the air flow since the engine probably sucks the air in faster anyways at wide open throttle. plus since it's a open system, any extra air (ie more than what the engine needs at the given moment) would simply bounce around in the intake and out of the intake manifold.

A fan on your intake would NOT help at all.

btw, ebay sells them. Check out ebay. I think they go for like $70.00 or something.

Don't come back here and say they don't work and you wasted your money. You won't be telling us anything new.

I think the only way it would help is if we had low revving cars

in other words we have a higher revving engine than the fan can keep up with
